It doesn't come from Shakespeare! The only (vague) similarity is that Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream sleeps outside on a bed of wild thyme.

I don't see why it would be "completely impossible" to make rice pudding or custard on a camp fire! I'd avoid toffee though because the pan would be a nightmare to clean, especially if you haven't got any detergent.

My mistake, I thought Pete was quoting from Shakespeare.

I didn't even try. I am very wary of downloading links from people I don't know. No slur on the original poster intended.

If ever I'm not sure about a download, I go onto Google, type the link in the search box and see what comes up. If it's green or has a green tick by it, I'll open it up via that route.

This might help. Scroll down for the English version, should that be your mother-tongue. I am indebted to Cathy for sending me this link -- I think!
